Barts 900 Breast Cancer Centre
Transforming how breast cancer is treated in East London.
In recent years we’ve invested over £10 million to help researchers make breakthroughs in the fight against cancer.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the UK, with outcomes in North East London being amongst the poorest in the country.
We previously invested over £10 million to enable the Barts Cancer Institute and the Wolfson Institute of Population Health to recruit a wealth of new scientific talent to East London.
These researchers are building our understanding of cancer biology and aim to translate their discoveries into new ways to prevent and treat cancer.
The battle against cancer is ongoing. Even though we are making progress every day, we need to ensure that the researchers of the future have the time, resources and expert guidance to make the next breakthroughs. Thank you to our donors for your support so far.
Transforming how breast cancer is treated in East London.
A patient at St Bartholomew’s Hospital was the first in the world to have their lung tumour treated using a unique procedure which avoids puncturing the skin.
Patients will get faster diagnosis for suspected breast cancer with a new service at Whipps Cross Hospital.
